Tree House

The idea of the tree house manifested itself from a fusion of the client, Leunig, his ideals of truth and preservance, the site and its rawness of nature as well developments from the potentials submission. The result was a playful yet experiential dwelling. Keeping the preceeding ideas as a basis for design, decisions regarding space and layout were able to be made. The floor plan was made simple by shutting my eyes and hurriedly drawing three boxes onto the page, with the result being my basic floorplan. Hence the presence of the overshooting walls. Also, having the amenities completely separate to the house is another typical characteristic of the common treehouse. The second level was deliberately raised to sit higher in order perpetuate the feeling and idea of being up within the tree tops. The materials are raw and natural, the construction is basic, like any treehouse it is built with what is at hand.
